Narasimhan stated, "India is fascinating. You can’t average India—it’s like averaging the depth of a river. So we design for cohorts across the pyramid. At the bottom of the pyramid, we have ₹10 packs—affordable but still scientifically backed and in recyclable tubes. Sustainability is non-negotiable. At the top end, we offer products for gum care and whitening. The core principle—quality and sustainability—remains consistent."

Prabha Narasimhan took over as MD of Colgate-Palmolive India in 2022 after many years at HUL. On the sideline of Goafest 2023, Storyboard18’s editor Delshad Irani caught up with Narasimhan, where she opened up about Colgate’s recent campaigns, using data and insights to keep the brand fresh, marketers chasing virality and the new bottom-line for businesses.
